Beach Ready Mani

Hi Ladies! I have a super fun manicure for you all today! I’m rocking some pretty awesome Sally Hansen textured nail polish! Have you tried Sally Hansen products? If not, they’re a must try! I started checking out the Sally Hansen Instagram and I was so inspired by the fun and bright colors that are in for summer! I knew I wanted to get ‘beachy’ with my manicure! So I went to my local Walgreens and I was floored by the giant selection, it was pretty breathtaking to see the fabulous new collections for summer! You can check out pictures from my shopping trip, right here in my Google+ album!

I find inspiration in so many things so after researching some of the swatches of the Sugar Coat polishes that Sally Hansen has out, which can all be found at Walgreens! I grabbed some items from around the house just to get me in the mood, and get a great idea for bright colors to incorporate into my nail art!

My sunglasses, some seashells a bracelet and if you can believe it, my backup shower curtain actually ended up being the best inspiration I could have hoped for to create my Sally Hansen Beach Ready Mani! The colors just pop, so I knew it would be the perfect start!

These displays at Walgreens, really had me ooohhing and ahhhing! It was so hard to choose just a few colors, I wanted everything! Those Sugar Coat polishes though, ahhh just amazing! Super fun and bright colors! Perfect for Summer and just the colors I needed! The sales were just amazing, and they get better and better at Walgreens. From June 30th through July 27th all Xtreme polish is 2/$4 as well as an awesome buy 1, get 1 50% of sale on Sally Hansen Magnetic, Nail Miracle Growth and Crackle polish! I’ll be partaking in that sale for sure, will you? If you use your Balance Rewards card the savings get even greater!

Use the bobby pin and gently dot out the shape of a starfish (this does not need to be perfect, what starfish is?) onto your two chosen accent nails (or your whole hand if that is what you fancy) and paint on as many starfish as you’d like.

STEP SEVEN

Wait about 90 seconds for the starfish to dry.

STEP EIGHT

Use your Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in white to make the small dots on the starfish (this really helps the design pop) on both nails.

STEP NINE

Let your manicure dry completely, this is where you can choose to either let the mani stay as is (which is what I did) or pick out your favorite Sally Hansen top coat and make it shinier, just remember that adding a top coat could lose the textured effect for you.

All done & ready for the beach! I absolutely loved creating this manicure! I feel like it is super fun and definitely is the perfect look for summer and the beach!

hmmm my nail art pen does not work like yours! It barely works at all 🙁 i had high hopes because its such a good idea, but I have both white and black and neither works that well. The black works better than the white, the white barely works!

I absolute love your nail art! I find textured polishes harder to work with doing nail art and you *nailed* it! Great job! Love your blog. I didn’t realize until now you are a part of the BBC, glad I found you!
